The sequel to the horror movie ‘In a Violent Nature 2’ has been announced at SDCC, during the The Bold Voice of Contemporary Horror panel. The original’s producer Peter Kuplowsky were in attendance for the announcement.

“In a Violent Nature demonstrated that there continues to be a yearning for new perspectives in the horror landscape. We knew immediately that this distinctive take on the slasher would enthrall fans and are glad to see the community embrace a new slasher icon in Johnny,” head of AMC Networks’ film group Scott Shooman said in a statement. “With the sequel, we aim to prove that Johnny can be bigger, meaner, and his kills can only get more impressive.”

Written and directed by Chris Nash, the 2024 Canadian slasher film was a surprise hit in 2024, after it premiered on January 22, 2024, at the Sundance Film Festival’s Midnight program.

“In a Violent Nature” is set to be released on the Shudder streaming service later in the year.

“The Bold Voice of Contemporary Horror” panel also had a lively discussion with David Dastmalchian (actor, Late Night with the Devil), Akela Cooper (writer, M3GAN franchise), and Angel Melanson (journalist, Fangoria) in attendance. The panel was moderated by Overlook Film Festival co-founder and director of film programming, Michael Lerman.
